RAISING TURKEYS.
-noW Co Feed and House Them at Different
Seasons OF the Year.


Seasons OF the Year.
The common turkey is native o
North America. Its name arose from
the confusion that at first existed rela
tive to the identity of the bird with the
Guinea fowl, which is known as 1
native of Turkey. There is no better
place for keeping turkeys than large.

as to protect the fowls from the inclenl
ency OF the weather, and especially
from the wet, which plays sad havoc
with them. Have high perches, but dc
not neglect to make broad ladder fol

asked why ladder, when the turkey

become heavier than when wild, and
the weight is too much for the strength
of their wings While enjoying their
liberty, they take exercise which pre-
serves them from ''aldsrmanic proper
tions." Avoid roosting on trees; many
a flock has been wiped out of existence
an consequence of this. There is no
surer way to introduce roup among
young fowls than in allowing this
practice.

As a rule, she will make her nest in

according to the maturity of the bird.
A turkey hen is very persistent sitter,
and will often half starve before
she will leave the nest If kept in the
house all the morning, which is the
time tley lay, the possibility of hiding
their eggs is avoided. In the second
layings, the number of eggs rarely ex-
coed thirteen. Incubation varies from
twenty-eight to thirty-two days. Young
turkey chicks should be removed from
the nest shortly after they are Matched.
In feeding poults about two or three
months old, such boiled herbs as wild
succory, turnip-tops and cabbage
sprouts, are suitable. Boiled potato
skins and a few potatoes may be given,
mixed with beans, oats, barley or
buckwheat. When six months old,
boiled potatoes, mashed and mixed
with meal, and fed fresh in u clean
vessel, continued for about month
morning and evening, will develop a
good weight and fiji them for the mar
ket- If the early market is to be met,
do not fail to keep the fowls greater
portion of their time in darkness, and |
curtail as much of their exercise as
possible. Turkey poults must be pro-
tected against cold or damp weather, |
as well as intense sunshine. In case |
of rain, they should be housed at once.
The turkey raiser must constantly keep |
his eyes open, and never neglect the
slightest act of kindness or cleanliness. |
A great many turkeys die annually for
want of these.-An1eric0n Agricuttur-

EHOw to Destroy the Spores or Rust and
Smut in Grain.
The diseases of plants and trees
known as blights are exceedingly vari-
GUS, but yet similar in many respects
in their characters and history. AS
}blights these diseases have been known
for many years, and are by no means
new or unknown. That more has not
been heard of them until recently,
however, has been duo 20 the fact that
formerly no systematic methods of in
Vestigation have been undertaken to
learn something of their nature and to
discover some means of preventing
them, while more recently a large
number of skillful and patient expert
menters and observers have been at
work with them, and what they have
learned has been widely published
through agricultural AMI scientific
Journals. A century ago pear blight
svas made subject of comment and
inquiry, but the prevailing ignorance
of that period, not unmiXed with super
=stition-a fit mate for ignorance-pre-
vented any useful results. Blight
means, in general, failure of vitality
or whitening from some unknown
cause; it Is not in any sense q syn
-onym for disease, and has been ap-
piled to fruit trees, small fruits, grains,
roots and other farm crops which are
subject to sudden attacks of disease
that injure or. destroy the plants, fruits
or seeds.
Thus we have pear blight. potato

number of plants, but all in similar
manner. The attack is sudden and
fatal TO a portion or the whole of a
plant 1t is o,npanied by conspic-
uously visible symptoms-a change
of color, decay and final death of
the plant. These symptoms pos
sess remarkable similarity in
appearance, and when examined
are found to be equally similar in their
internal characters. Whitening of the
foliage, decay of the stems, rotting
of the fruit or tubers. and generally n
blackening of these parts, accompanied
by the mycelium of fungi, which in
time produces seed in the form of black
smut or red and yellow rust The
smuts of grains, the rot of potatoes, the
trusts of grains and various plants, the
black rot and mildew of grapes, the
mildews of gooseberries, currants, peas
and other plants; the yellows of peaches,
the fire blight of the pear, apple and
ounce; the black knot of the plum and
,cherry-a,l these fall under the generic
term of '.blight," and all possess very
much the same characters and produce
similar results.
Recent Investigations have proved
that they are all parasitic and due to
various kinds of fungi. which can be di-
rvided into classes, but which so far are
mot clearly understood. and which may
lin reality be more closely related than
has been hitherto supposed. and in some
eases may be identical. although found

A Beautiful Memorial Chapel.

Yesterday Whitehead e Wright, of this city,
shipped the plans for Soldiers Memorial Chapel
to be erected by them at Marion. O. The chapel
will be of Bedford, Ind, stone, with trimmings
of red sandstone. Its dimensions are 42x24 feet,
with height of 81 feet 4 inches The exterior
appearance of the chapel is at once striking and
unique Commanding the entrance on either
side is a cannon, and back of these, on each side
of the doorway. is stand Of arms. Over the
front and rear entrance is life size statue Of
soldier. A keystone representing g. A. r.
badge rests upon the gable over the rear
entrance. Upon the gable of the tower is coat
of arms-an eagle, shield and flags; and upon
each corner of the exterior of the structure is a
large memorial urn. The interior of this ele-
CANT monument to the memory of the Nations
defenders is in full keeping with the exterior.
Over the front doorway, in has relief, is cav
alryman. and over the rear doorway an artillery
man. bust Of Lincoln and of Grant rest
opposite sides of the building between the win
dows. Over the windows. which are of stained
glass, are inscribed the leading battles of the
war. The entire interior is to be laid in
BILE. on which is to be inscribed the of
every soldier from Marion county. Takel as a
whole, this is one of the handsomest pieces of
work ever designed by an indianapolis FIRM and
reflects great credit upon Messrs. Whitehead &
Wright, and speaks volumes Tor the enterprise
of our industrial interests.

After MANY Years.

NEW YORK. March 19.-After an absence Of over
twentyon years. Carrie Fehlinger has returned to
10 Union avenue, Brooklyn. She was long ago be-
eved to be dead and her story of where she has been
and what has happened to her since she lost in
July 1865. reads like romance She was lost while
on her way to school and her parents unable to
get any trace of her. 1t appears from her story that
the police found her. but being unable to learn her
name residence from her she sent to the House
of Refuge.
Some years afterward the girl taken into
Brooklyn family as a servant. Two years ago she
learned dress making and married w. Fl. Bennett, an
oysterman. The couple did not live happily. and sep
arated three months ago. While Mrs. Bennett was
sitting in a Brooklyn store last week a woman asked
her if her not Fehlinger and if they had not
attended the school. From this Mrs. Bennett
first learned her maiden name. The new-found friend
spent several days in hunting up all the Fehngers in
New York and Brooklyn, and yesterday succeeded in
finding Mrs. Bennett parents.

The Local League Club.


The baseball canvassing committees were
greatly hampered in their work yesterday by q
report that the required amount of money had
been raised. Business men taking that view of the
situation responded slowly to requests for sub
scriptions. The directors stated that there should
be two or three thousand dollars more to put the
club on a sound financial footing as the total
amount of subscriptions last evening was exact
ly $lS, 600. They are going ahead with arrange
ments for the opening of the season, believing
that the amount needed will be ultimately Sc
cured. If it is not the club will certainly prove
failure unless at least $40, 900 is raised before
the season begins. The amount should be $685.
900, but the directors are willing to go into the
work with $780, 900 If more can not be had The
subscription committees will resume their solicit
tations Monday.
ALI of the players will be on their way here to-
morrow. and q majority of them are expected to
arrive Wednesday Thursday. The directors
say there is no truth in the statement in a local
paper that they will have to pay some of their

paying Of over $4,000 to any one man.
Some OF the men will receive over 81. 900.
